Personal Retreats

Take advantage of the peaceful setting at Five Oaks along the Grand River. Quiet indoor spaces provide opportunity for meditation, relaxation and reflection. During the winter, sitting by the picture windows in the dining hall with a warm drink to watch the birds at the feeder is a beautiful experience. In warmer months, enjoy walking the labyrinth and swimming in our large pool.

The ideal space for a Personal Retreat is the Hermitage. This is a cozy, self-contained 'cottage' with a bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchenette.

If the Hermitage is not available then retreatants can stay in one of the other spaces available at Five Oaks - the 'Friendship House' or the 'House on the Hill'.

Meals are provided in the Dining Room of the Main Building with other groups who are using the facility. Otherwise, retreatants can make their own meals.

If you wish to meet with a spiritual director, for an additional cost of $40, then please make these arrangements with us well in advance of your retreat date.
